Special Registry Action Needed within First 60 Days of MU Reporting Period


Special Registry Action Needed within First 60 Days of MU Reporting Period


Eligible Providers must register intent to submit to a public health registry within the first 60 days of their MU reporting period.

How do I register my intent?
Registering intent is simple:
  • Visit the Meaningful Use Registration System (MURS) within the first 60 days of the 2017 MU reporting period
  • Select “Start” at the bottom of the screen
  • Answer questions about your registry selection and enter information about your practice
  • If the registry you select isn’t yet collecting data you can provide, registering with MURS is enough to satisfy the MU public health measure until the registry requests that EPs move forward with enrollment and EHR integration
How do I decide on a registry?
There are a number of registries available that can help you meet the MU measure. The Illinois Prescription Drug Monitoring (ILPMP) has been approved as a specialized registry, regardless of whether an EP dispenses controlled substances or submits data to the registry.  The National Health Care Surveys is another resource that can be used as a specialized registry. To see other options, view a list of approved registries.
What if I already registered with MURS, or am testing or sending data to a registry for MU?
You do not need to re-register in MURS.
